How do I deal, with turned off electricity?

More Details:

In the last two weeks, I have had my electricity turned off, and I have reached out for help, to find backs turned. My only resource is my 90+ parents and because they need what little money, they have, I can't really go to them, particularly since they have been helping me out big-time. This whole situation stems, from helping someone out, before really giving consideration, to myself first. Also, my rent is due come the first, and my lease is up, at the end od July. I've been down-sized, but thanks to God, I am able to keep," my cool". Any advice, I am sure would be helpful. Sincerely, tyffanii2346@hotmail.com

In my previous answer i meant to say I'm not catholic but my fingers got away from me; also I just looked at your profile; for your age group you may also want to go to the social security administration ofc in your area and look into assistance they may offer. Again, Good Luck and keep your head up.

From experience it helps to take a step back and look at the big picture; focusing on the little pieces believe it or not is more overwhelming than looking at the entire picture. Once you have stepped back and took a DEEP breath start your research into programs that can help you even if only partially or temporarily. Often these programs are very helpful in bridging the gap between up and down. One resource is UNITED WAY another is CATHOLIC CHARITIES---I'm catholic and the organization doesn't require you be in order to receive help from them. I know there are chapters in every state. Start by calling UNITED WAY to get linked up to other resources. Be honest. Be Patient. And most of all Be Spiritual in your journey. You didn't get here overnight and the situation is not going to fix itself overnight. Good Luck. My email address is theLIZfactor08@gmail.com
